Overview
This is the thrilling story following meteorite hunter Sam McFarlane, who is hired by an eccentric billionaire who is opening a museum of colossal proportions. Sam is sent on the trail of his old partner who discovered something big on an island not far from Antarctica. When he reaches the island, assisted by a mysterious but effective engineering firm known as EES (Effective Engineering Solutions), He discovers a massive meteorite, larger than anything discovered before by humans. Its size is not its only distinguishing factor. As they try to move the space rock, people begin to die. They aren’t taking the asteroid anywhere. (To quote the back cover) It’s taking them.

I love those two. Their stories are such fun. I wish I had a writing partner. I wonder how well that work? Well, for them it seems to work fine, right? I always leave wanting a little more from their work…but then I look back and realize I was on edge numerous times throughout so I got my money’s worth! Nice review.
